Cladding options include PVDF membrane, profiled steel sheet, or insulated composite panels. Ideal for aircraft hangars, heavy equipment warehouses, disaster relief supply storage, and temporary production workshops.

FAQ
1. Does it need a foundation?
Level ground plus ground anchors or concrete ballast is sufficient. A strip footing can be used for permanent installations.
2. Which cladding is better โ membrane or steel sheet?
Membrane is lighter and allows natural light โ good for temporary use. Steel sheet is more durable and can be insulated โ better for semi-permanent applications.
3. Can doors and ventilation be added?
Yes. Roller shutters, sliding doors, fans, and roof vents can all be customized.
